FUNERAL arrangements for six-year-old Bradley Lowery have been released by his family.

Final farewells to the young boy whose battle against neuroblastoma touched the hearts of people around the world will be said on Friday, July 14.

The service, at St Joseph’s RC Church on Coast Road in Blackhall Colliery, in County Durham, starts at 11.15.

A message posted on the youngster’s Facbook page earlier said: “This is open to everyone who would like to come and celebrate Bradley's life and pay their respects to show him how much he was loved.

“Not everyone will fit in the church but they are having speakers for people to listen to the service outside and people can line the streets if they wish to do so.”

The Lowery family is then having a private ceremony at a crematorium.

The statement also said: “You can wear whatever you want for the funeral but the family and friends have chosen the theme cancer has no colours.

“So they are wearing football tops it doesn't matter what team or colour.

“Due to Bradley's popularity they would like family flowers only and if you would like to make a donation this can be made to the Bradley Lowery foundation.”
